[PATCH v8 0/6] perf record: Track sideband events for all CPUs when tracing selected CPUs
Posted by Yang Jihong 2 years ago
User space tasks can migrate between CPUs, track sideband events for all
CPUs.

The specific scenarios are as follows:

         CPU0                                 CPU1
  perf record -C 0 start
                              taskA starts to be created and executed
                                -> PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_MMAP
                                   events only deliver to CPU1
                              ......
                                |
                          migrate to CPU0
                                |
  Running on CPU0    <----------/
  ...

  perf record -C 0 stop

Now perf samples the PC of taskA. However, perf does not record the
PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_COMM events of taskA.
Therefore, the comm and symbols of taskA cannot be parsed.

The sys_perf_event_open invoked is as follows:

  # perf --debug verbose=3 record -e cpu-clock -C 1 true
  <SNIP>
  Opening: cpu-clock

  perf_event_attr:

  <SNIP>

Changes since_v7:
 - The condition for requiring system_wide sideband is changed to
   "as long as a non-dummy event exists" (patch4).
 - Modify the corresponding test case to record only dummy event (patch6).
 - Thanks to tested-by tag from Ravi, but because the solution is modified,
   the tested-by tag of Ravi is not added to this version.

Changes since_v6:
 - Patch1:
    1. No change.
    2. Keep Acked-by tag from Adrian.
 - Patch2:
    1. Update commit message as suggested by Ian.
    2. Keep Acked-by tag from Adrian because code is not modified.
 - Patch3:
    1. Update comment as suggested by Ian.
    2. Merge original patch5 ("perf test: Update base-record & system-wide-dummy attr") as suggested by Ian.
    3. Only merge commit, keep Acked-by tag from Adrian.
 - Patch4:
    1. No change. Because Adrian recommends not changing the function name.
    2. Keep Acked-by tag from Adrian.
 - Patch5:
    1. Add cleanup on trap function as suggested by Ian.
    2. Remove Tested-by tag from Adrian because the script is modified.
 - Patch6:
    1. Add Reviewed-by tag from Ian.

Changes since_v5:
 - No code changes.
 - Detailed commit message of patch3.
 - Add Acked-by and Tested-by tags from Adrian Hunter.

Changes since_v4:
 - Simplify check code for record__tracking_system_wide().
 - Add perf attr test result to commit message for patch 7.

Changes since_v3:
 - Check fall_kernel, all_user, and dummy or exclude_user when determining
   whether system wide is required.

Changes since_v2:
 - Rename record_tracking.sh to record_sideband.sh in tools/perf/tests/shell.
 - Remove "perf evlist: Skip dummy event sample_type check for evlist_config" patch.
 - Add opts->all_kernel check in record__config_tracking_events().
 - Add perf_event_attr test for record selected CPUs exclude_user.
 - Update base-record & system-wide-dummy sample_type attr expected values for test-record-C0.

Changes since v1:
 - Add perf_evlist__go_system_wide() via internal/evlist.h instead of
   exporting perf_evlist__propagate_maps().
 - Use evlist__add_aux_dummy() instead of evlist__add_dummy() in
   evlist__findnew_tracking_event().
 - Add a parameter in evlist__findnew_tracking_event() to deal with
   system_wide inside.
 - Add sideband for all CPUs when tracing selected CPUs comments on
   the perf record man page.
 - Use "sideband events" instead of "tracking events".
 - Adjust the patches Sequence.
 - Add patch5 to skip dummy event sample_type check for evlist_config.
 - Add patch6 to update system-wide-dummy attr values for perf test.

I've re-tested v8 with my simple test.

Uh.. the kernel I was using before didn't support PERF_FORMAT_LOST, so 
forget about supporting PERF_FORMAT_LOST. I've updated the kernel and 
retested it.

The link to the fixed patch is as follows:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230916091641.776031-1-yangjihong1@huawei.com/

Thanks,

I'm in doubt about these Acked-by/Reviewed-by tags, do they still stand? They are
not in the latest series, can you please check?

Uh, uh. Because several reviewers have different opinions on the 
solution,  I modified it several times.
Now v8 patchset is different from the previous versions.
I only keep the  Acked-by/Reviewed-by tags of patches that are not 
modified. For patches that have modified the code, I remove the tags.
Therefore, please refer to the v8 series for Acked-by/Reviewed-by tags.
This version needs to be confirmed by reviewers.

Thanks,
Yang
